A year full of so many wonderful memories.
A year full of love and time as a family.
A year getting to know this sweet boy that we all love so much.
How does a year go by so fast?
We are so grateful to all of our Winnipeg "family" for coming to celebrate Sam's first year. We had an underwater theme for our little Morris manta ray and made 2 cakes in typical Mennonite fashion (plus a cake to "smash") and inadvertently added a little "Baby Shark" medley for good measure. We had to explain to Granny what Baby shark was and that Granny shark has no teeth in the hand movements/verse of the song but she was game to play along. Sam had lots of "help" from his siblings who were so excited to show him what birthdays were all about. They spent hours on his decorations for the big day.
I could write forever on how thankful I am for this last year but instead I will say "Happy birthday my sweet little boy". I hope all of your birthdays are full of as much love and happiness as your first one. Thank you for joining our family. Thank you for your smiles and laughter and "clucking" when you blow kisses. Thank you for your enthusiastic love of any and all fruit including grapefruit. Thank you for how much you tolerate your siblings constantly yelling in your face and dragging you around. Thank you for tolerating the endless kisses from your mother. Thank you for being you - we are excited to watch you grow. Happy 1st birthday Sam.
